Nationally Seattle Tied for 2nd Longest Home Price Streak Increase

Greater Seattle has now led the nation in home price increases for 20 months in a row, tied for the second-longest streak.

The cost of a single-family home across the metro area grew 13.1 percent in April compared to a year ago, according to the monthly Case-Shiller home-price index, released Tuesday. It’s about the same growth the region has experienced consistently for a while, month after month after agonizing month for buyers.
